Had an interesting discussion today at work - all started by someone being asked how much a half pint of skim milk cost in the cafeteria - $1

Any advice on how to encourage these young, fresh from college youngsters to explore this way of life?

I know I can't save the world, I'm thinking maybe container gardening gifts later in the SpringBarredBuff said:Bring em stuff and you could get them on the site.
